To all whom it may. concern.'

Be it known that I,'JUL-US BING7 a citizen Aothe United States ofAmerica, residing at improvements in triokcigars and has' for its objectto makea cigar which will spread out and have the appearance of'A an oldpaint brush shortly after being li hted Without danger of the partsflying in t ie smokers face.

To. this end the invention consists in the peculiar construction,arrangement and com- 1 mation of partsall as more fully here1n-.

after described andshown in the accompany `ing drawings, in which Figure1, 1s a vertical central section through a cigar embodying theinvention; Fig, 2, a plan view of the spring in condition as it is paced in a cigar; and Fig. 3, a lplan view showing the spring spreadout.v

In the drawings 1 is the filler and 2 the wra per of a cigar as 'inordinary use.

e invention consists in embedding therein a spring 3 composed of a pieceof s 'ring wire bent into V-form with a single coii)4 at its base andthe arms 5 of which are united at their free ends by a strin or loop 6of inflammablej material adapte( to 4hold the arms under tension and torelease the same when the cigar has been smoked but a short while.

y By making the spring arms relatively long and placing the looped endnear the outer end of the cigar there will be no danger of the vpartsying into the'eyes of the. smoker as the s )ring-arms as soonasreleasedy will spread tlle cigar apart giving it much the appeal'- anoeof a paint brush.

l. In a trick cigar thecombination with a cigar body of a springembedded therein and connecting means holding the spring under tensionwhereby it is adapted to be released l by the'burning ol the cigar.

` 2,. Ina trick cigar' the combination with a cigar body of a springembedded therein formed with arms adapted to lie in the longitudinalplane of the cigar and a fusible loop unitingA the outer ends thereof.

3'. In a trick cigar the combination with a cigar body of a springembedded therein formed with arms united by a coil at the inner end andcombustible means uniting the free ends of said arms and adapted to bereleased by the smoking of the cigar. 4

4.
